In my opinion, it is much more often that good productive action is continuing on the edge, with scores & good wrestling....than there are situations where there are safety issues with going into tables and onto floors. That already happens as is sometimes. That problem is never really going to be totally gone. With edge of the mat wrestling rules as they have in college, all a ref has to do is blow the whistle & stop action when they feel there is a table or floor concern.

If you ask any college coach, I bet they would overwhelmingly agree that the edge of the mat changes have been one of the best changes to the sport in many years. If they were to try to take it away, they would fight that hard.

It has been overall a very good thing. NF should follow suit. If NCAA can do it, there is no reason why NF can't.
